I'm ready. Are you ready?
I am ready.
OK. Lights.
Camera.
Let's Talk in English.
Hi, everybody. We're so glad you joined us right here on LTE TV.
My name is Andrea.
And I am Gabe.
Now today we're continuing talking about flights and flying to different places.
And something you must do if you want to fly somewhere is buy a ticket.
Today's lesson is called: Buying a Ticket.
Buying a Ticket.
So what kinds of things must you think about if you are going to buy a ticket?
Well, today we're going to talk about these things.
We have lots to learn.
So open your magazine and let's get started with our Read It paragraph.
Many people buy plane tickets online.
They plan their trips weeks ahead.
You should too.
When you book early, you get the best choice of flights and seats.
If you plan to travel on or around a holiday, buy your tickets very early.
Flights are very crowded at these times.
You can spend hours looking for good fares.
Check airline websites.
You can get an idea of the price.
They often have special deals.
Ooh, special deals!
It's good to get good deals.
Don't pay too much when you're buying a ticket.
Friends, we do have some key words here.
Let's take a look at this first key word.
seat.
What is a seat on a plane?
It's where you sit on the plane.
What's a seat on a train?
It's where you sit on the train.
Now when you take a plane, what kind of seat do you like to sit in?
Do you like a seat by the window?
Or do you like a seat where you can get up and walk around?
When you're planning a trip, you can also think about which seat you would like
on the airplane.
And of course, you need to buy a ticket to get a seat.
Well, where are you right now?
Please have a seat and enjoy the show.
We have another key word here.
We found out that if you plan to travel on or around a holiday, buy your tickets
early.
This key word is: around.
What is "around"?
How do you use this word?
You can talk about a time.
So you want to buy something around this time.
That means if you're talking about February 15, you want to buy something around
that time.
So February 13 or 14 or 16 is around February 15.
You can also... tell someone, "I'll see you around 9:00 tonight." So maybe a
little bit before 9:00, maybe a little bit after 9:00.
But around 9:00.
Now some flights are very crowded.
Let's take a look at this key word.
crowded.
Do you like crowded places - places with lots of people?
They're all around you.
They're very close by.
Andrea, do you like crowded places?
I don't like crowded places.
I mean, I can be in a crowded place for a short time, but I don't like to be in
crowded places for long times.
I understand. Not many people like crowds or like being in crowds.
Do you like crowds?
Do you like crowded places?
Some flights can be crowded.
Well later, we see you can spend hours looking for good fares.
You can what?
You can spend hours.
"Spend" is a key word.
When you spend time, that means you're taking time to do something.
You spend time.
Yes. And you can spend hours looking for flights.
You can use a lot of time to look for flights.
You can spend hours playing video games, or spend a lot of time doing your
homework.
He spent many years of his life doing something that he didn't really like.
He spent a few minutes working on a project.
So you can use this word in different ways.
Now we have another key word.
airline.
What's an airline?
Well, it's the company that you fly with.
Which airline are you flying?
Which company are you taking the flight with?
Well, let's continue learning now with Christina.
(Chinese).
Please, please. Let's fly somewhere.
We can get tickets online.
All right. Let's plan a trip.
Hooray! Let's go tomorrow.
Tomorrow? We can't go tomorrow.
Why not? Are you busy tomorrow?
When you travel by plane, you need to plan weeks ahead.
Weeks ahead? Why so early?
If you book early, you get the best choice of flights and seats.
Ooh, I know! We can fly somewhere for the holidays.
Hmm, flights are very crowded then.
But let's check the airline websites.
Maybe we can find a special deal.
Hooray! Hooray! We're flying on an airplane. We're flying on an airplane, flying
on an airplane...
Maybe, maybe.
Oh.
Maybe.
Maybe we're flying on a airplane. Maybe.
Many people buy plane tickets online.

Well, right now you should know that it's time for the Word Brothers.
Here we go.
Hi, everyone. I'm Jim.
And I'm Tim. We're...
The Word Brothers.
We are similar.
But very different.
Yes. Just like some English words.
Right. For example, bye, B-Y-E.
And buy, B-U-Y.
These two words are similar.
But very different.
You say the word "bye," B-Y-E, when you leave.
It is an easy way to say goodbye.
When you leave home in the morning, you might say "bye" to your family.
If you are going on a trip, you say "bye" to your friends.
Bye, Jim.
Where are you going, Tim?
Huh? I'm not going anywhere.
Then why did you say "bye" to me?
Oh, I was just practicing.
I see.
Now tell us about buy, B-U-Y, Jim.
Sure.
Buy, B-U-Y, means to give money to get something.
Mmhm. Our mom buys food at the grocery store every week.
She does.
What do you like to buy?
Do you buy clothes?
Do you buy music?
What do you buy?
I like to buy ice cream. Mmm..
Ooh, I also like to buy clothes and toys and shoes and books and...
We understand, Tim.
You like to buy many things.
Yes, I do.
OK, friends, bye.
And buy.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim saying...
Bye.
